FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose or tank during storage.
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or
using
ethanol
or methanol)
can attract
moisture
which
leads to separation
and
formation
of acids during
storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel system
of an
engine
while
in storage.
.
Empty
the fuel tank by starting
the en-
gine and letting
it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor
are empty.
.
Never
use engine
or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank or permanent
damage
may occur.
.
Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in minimizing
the formation
of fuel gum deposits
during
storage.
Add stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or
storage
container.
Always
follow
the mix
ratio found
on stabilizer
container.
Run
engine
at least 10 minutes
after adding
stabilizer
to allow
the stabilizer
to reach
the carburetor.
Do not empty
the gas tank
and carburetor
if using fuel stabilizer.

OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season
to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can
starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your
gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and
cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.
. Cover your unit with a suitable protec-
tive cover that does not retain moisture.
Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot
breathe, which allows condensation
to
form and will cause your unit to rust.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover mower while
engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
_ILCAUTION:
Never store the lawn
mower with gasoline in the tank inside a
building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark.
Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
